Fear tactics from therapists were proven ineffective decades ago. As your therapist, I provide a safe and inclusive space for growth, transformation and change, because it is your time, not mine.
I foster a collaborative approach which affirms your capacity for self-love and self-compassion, while also utilizing therapeutic tools which help you outside of just emotional and psychological concerns. My intention is for my clients to build upon their own perceived strengths and abilities, or assist in discovery of new ones.
"Indeed, he is completely modern only when he has come to the very edge of the world, leaving behind him all that has been discarded and outgrown, and acknowledging that he stands before a void out of which all things may grow." ⸺ Carl Jung, Modern Man in Search of a Soul (p. 197, Ch. 10: The Spiritual Problem of Modern Man)
I am a vegetarian of 15 years, I have two cats that I adore and I love a chai latte with oat milk. The majority of my professional experience comes from substance-use treatment, hospitals and outpatient agency work.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
